About our new roof snagging in Temple Mills
The best time for snagging is before the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. If you are worried about tiles or slates sitting out of line and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Homes across London range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to interwar semis, post-war blocks and new developments, so a property in Temple Mills might be any of these. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, the details that cause trouble depend on the age of the building. Slates, hidden valley gutters, parapets and flat roofs over back additions all need checking in their own way.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Prices for new roof snagging in Temple Mills
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:

To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Anything about access we should know
- The property’s address and postcode
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
What new roof snagging looks like in Temple Mills
Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have Welsh slate roofs. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that cannot be seen from the pavement. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. About 1.6 miles west lies Sutton House, a reminder of how long the area around Temple Mills has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Temple Mills is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway as you book. If you own a rental within reach of Stratford International station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. For an older house near a landmark like St Eleutherius, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
Common questions in Temple Mills
How do I find out if my home in Temple Mills is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Temple Mills in the area you cover?
Yes, Temple Mills is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Temple Mills as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.

What else we do in Temple Mills
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded as far as can be seen.
Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly where they can be seen.
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so the back of the roof is often seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, let us know when booking.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check we can get to the back of the property
